tramper's dream RV for sale $1700

[Eager]

I'm selling my 1976 Dodge Superior RV, a compact class C equally perfect for tramping around big cities or camping in wilderness for $1,700 (I'm selling it for $2,100 on craigslist, but $1,700 for other traveller kids). (Those of you who've read my urban camping thread here, are probably pretty familiar with it).

Its 9.5 feet long and 11.5 feet tall, which means it fits perfectly in any regulation parking spot and can make just about any height clearance.

Over the past 3 years of travelling in it, me and this amazing RV have enjoyed calming mornings in untouched wilderness, restless nights on busy city streets, fun times in friends driveways/backyards, sketchy encounters in back alleys, free bourgeois penthouse living atop parking garages in the city and pretty much every other imaginable place for far less than rent most places. Runs great, and is in pretty good condition; I'm only selling it because I've finally decided to stop travelling and put some roots down in Chicago.

Its got a propane heater, propane oven, a newly installed deep cell battery inverter which automatically charges while you drive it, full bathroom, a sizable fresh water holding tank, and large blackwater/graywater holding tanks, ample storage, a new gas generator for off-grid living/camping, and 20 AMP plug-in, (which means you can run the RV from any houses electrical outlet).

this is awesome man. At one time i wanted something like this but realized i like more minimalism. But when i get land this would be the ticket

That Toyota will take you far & wide !

oh it already has but i want something more suitable to my creative endeavors and other simple things like canning my own food etc and having a mattress to sleep on dont hurt either. im gettin older and would love to have something halfway stable but at the same time not. something thats just mine

Older huh,well,don't worry,that just says you're getting a little bit smarter,and more relaxed !..................Since you're broke now,and may not be able to get this one,why not think about a van,fit it to suit you ! I lived in one for a few years,loved it ! Now I have two pickup trucks,with no way to go from the cab to the back,except thru the back ! not a good being secret kinda thing !

 

[beat_tramp]

Ill have my cash for one in about 11 months from now.Im sure you will have sold this by then.
